I love how this video, along with the scales sorting video, is going to become this tribute dress's own history. I know the internet is forever, but maybe convert color stills to a paper book with a Patreon and scale-maker list in the appendix? Glad that this intricate work is being watched over by such a poufy floofy supervisor who works for cat food, cat videos and cuddles with the human.

Posted to Nurse_Kim (RE: Court TV and Karen Read case with Mark Bederow) Uploaded 11/03/2024

I have not watched Court TV, but based on what I heard here, they need new producers to set up and research these "expert" interviews. No one should say "I hate her" in an interview regarding a criminal case defendant. This attitude is the antithesis of the neutrality that should be expected from an expert commentator.  Having an attorney utter that phrase on a public video, is to me (unfortunately not to The Bar), a sanctionable offense. At the very least, it makes me distrust Court TV.  BTW Whenever Mark spoke about those who wish to opine about the Read case on twitter with their only background being a "twitter law degree" made me laugh out loud every single time. Perfect example of why I am not on twitter.

Posted to Uncivil Law (RE: Discussion on Closing in Sarah Boone Trial) Uploaded on 11/01/2024

Was this conviction expected, yes. Was the lawyer less than stellar, yes. Was everyone saved from the ordeal of Sarah Boone as defendant AND attorney, YES!        

UNCIVIL Q: (1a) Probably, she knew about air (1b) Maybe, she was out that year in school, (2a) Suitcase as self defense, sure a good swing with those wheels and a filled bag should leave a mark, (2b) Possibly, but might be hard to explain to store security if asked, "why the bag", and finally (3a) Attorney Owens used "the spaghetti defense" unfortunately for him nothing stuck, (3b) Winning an Oscar, well first you have to do something intelligent and entertaining, although sometimes it helps if you sucker punch the host.

Posted to The Behavioral Panel (RE: Sarah Boone behavior at trial) Uploaded on 11/01/2024

Her behavior is childlike, not in an innocence sense, but with a young child's lack of logical thinking. I agree with Chase Hughes @0:58:00--1:00:00. This is a 47 year old woman who is barely functioning at a preadolescence level. The Pam Beesly observation for a defendant's appearance at @1:40  (again by Chase 🤣) was genius. Early meetings with Attorney James Owens, de-evolved into shouting matches. Sarah Boone like any "tween" believed that she knew better than everyone else. Unfortunately for Sarah Boone she was not a child in a parental home but an adult who is in a criminal court. Magical thinking is only believed by very young children, narcissists and some politicians.

Possible Barred Rock Rooster names: (1)Patriarch (father of many) with Archie as a nickname (2) Jon Snow (because GoT is great, well most of the seasons) , (3) Johnny Cash (because the man had energy, talent and worked diligently) and (4) Bennett (an AI search named John C. Bennett as either the developer or publicist for the Barred Rock breed). Sounds like Dani's backstory and homestead would make a great video. When farm and foot (hope it is healing quickly) permit, road trip!

Posted to Scientology: Life After A Cult (RE: Daily News) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/04/2024

Replay crew here, I enjoy these news updates. It is always refreshing to find someone who understands what they are reading, can comment intelligently and keep to the facts as they stand when the video was uploaded. All those positives for Natalie's channel are why I seldom watch the trad media channels or apps. I am VERY intrigued about the future Nicole Kidman memoir.

BTW mini random rant: election (U.S.) is wearing me down which makes me so happy for "safe places" like this channel.

Posted to Attorney Melanie Little (RE:Joint Plea-Defense & Prosecution to Delay Trial->04/01/2025)

Replay crew here. Unless Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan has a TARDIS to revisit January 28-29 2022 in order to institute a proper investigation then there is no valid case to try. There is only corruption within, and misspent tax money by, The Commonwealth. With the appointment of a special prosecutor we are probably witnessing "smoke and mirrors" aka the art of misdirection by those who think that they are magicians. Under the watch of the DA of Norfolk County, the law has suffered as have those individuals who fall into the Commonwealth's legal system. Michael Morrissey is up for re-election in 2026. I feel the answer to WHY all of this mess is in that factor. On a lighter note, I always enjoy joint commentary by Melanie and Mark. I agree that Court TV needs to upgrade their management staff if they wish to survive as a reliable source of information.

Posted to Little Adventures (RE: Guinea Pigs Aging) Uploaded to You Tube on 11/05/2024

It is hard seeing my companions age. Obviously beats the alternative, but still it is something I never seem to get accustomed to. I have had so many animals share my life over the years, yet losses still pain me. Sorry,  I should be more upbeat. We give these beings a very good life which should be of comfort.  If Lumi is still racing around when she gets outside time, then good for her. Attitude is important and vital!♥

Posted to Attorney Melanie (RE: Duck Report) Uploaded to You Tube on 1001/2024

Mixed thoughts (sort of sorry for length):   (1)LOGIC: People are properly angry at MST, Canton LE and the DA of Norfolk County, but no one should enter private spaces or businesses unless invited by word or intent. (2)RANDOM: The named LE of this report is Detective Timothy Taylor. Any one remember an old TV series called, Tool Time? The protagonist's name was Tim "The Toolman" Taylor.  If this ducky narrative (that noun in itself is suss) is real, then this LE unit really does know how to do a proper investigation. (3)SUMMARY: Leaning towards this being faked, just to intimidate protestors. Of course first the narrative's author had to watch a multi-season marathon of  Law & Order.😉

As others have said, being on a board of directors for any business or foundation is not for all of us. I know that I could not do it. However I would only unsubscribe, had the theme of this channel drastically changed. As Liz Gale still believes in removing this cult's tax exempt status, helping those recover from this cult's influence and continuing to warn those of us never-ins to continue that viewpoint, I will remain subscribed. Bones need rest to heal and so does stress. 

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Sean Combs connections to celebrities) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/02/2024

The list of offenses attributed to Sean Combs gives me déjà vu. Jeffrey Epstein had questionable parties, allegedly kept film and images of attendees at those parties, made donations to foundations when it suited his purpose, was often seen pictured with entertainment and political celebrities, was accused then convicted of tr****ing  Think back further and there is Harvey Weinstein. While enablers often keep these monsters alive, focusing on minor celebrities will not solve the larger problem of the way society can reward bad behavior, especially if such behavior is profitable. 

Posted to Attorney Melanie (RE: Civil Suit filed against Canton bars and Karen Read) 10/03/2024

This began with those in authority forgetting that their power was granted by the citizens of Massachusetts to protect and serve the public. Thanks to the incompetence, lies and utter narcissism of the MST, local LE and certain individuals linked to LE by blood or marriage, Officer O'Keefe will never receive the honor, respect and allegiance that is due to his family and to his memory. These false guardians should be ashamed and removed from the one thing they appear to value above all else, power.

Posted to Microdots (RE: Wild Animals) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/04/2024

While this video is dramatic, intense and quite cinematic, it is also a very plausible representation of what happened when a group of powerful and well-connected individuals were present at the scene of an accident that they sought to cover up. Wild animals is a good metaphor as there is no conscience, no ethics, no compassion, only the absolute primal need to survive.

Posted to Smokey Glow (RE: Matt and Abby Parent Vloggers) Uploaded to You Tube 09/05/2024

HELLO! Glad to see a new (at least to me) video on this channel. I have not seen any Matt & Abby videos, but with the data from this commentary I can certainly hypothesize. Problematic parenting videos are all over social media.  Remember the vlog, 8 Passengers? Remember Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrand's online cult of parenting and marriage advice? Considering the loose definition of "reality" on certain vlogs, who knows what we are seeing. Unfortunately there are viewers that cut and paste someone else's techniques and lives without considering the consequences. I do appreciate this cautionary message!

Posted to Collier Landry (RE: What is in that rug) Uploaded to You Tube 10/05/2024

I admit that I initially looked at this whole rug and laptop thing with, a big REALLY? However since she was hacked and lost her funds, I am very very sad for her and furious at the hacker as I am assuming Katie Santry does not have Elon Musk-level of financials. Sounds like at least for this one point in time for one particular person that good won over evil. Hope her kind helpers find and expose this 'bot, person, troll or whatever.

Posted to Hazariel Atelier (RE: Office/Closet/Guest Room Makeover) Uploaded on10/06/2024

So transformative AND most importantly, "cat who is not my cat" approved. While in real time the work was most likely strenuous, the editing made it look like so much fun (and pushes me to do something, anything with my space).This is now a beautiful room which tells so many stories and has multiple functionality, I was not looking at the curtains. While watching paint dry is the fav statement for illustrating boredom, in this instance watching paint, wallpaper and glue being stripped from surfaces had an oddly hypnotic and relaxing effect on me (full disclosure I do not get out much👀).

Posted to LVCopsTV (RE: Enrique Delgardo-Garcia) uploaded to You Tube on 10/04/2024

I cannot understand why this investigation of Enrique Delgardo-Garcia is taking so long. Is the delay is intentional or incompetence-related? A comment was made concerning (maybe?) California sending only a social worker out to a domestic or an unstable person call. Never ever send a mental health worker or anyone alone without LE backup to a call like that. The victim could have easy access to a weapon, too far altered to listen to words or even capable of self-harm. We need both types of professionals on site, It may be expensive, but could save lives on both sides of "the line".

Posted to Gold Shaw Farms (RE: Chicken loss) Uploaded to You Tube on  10/07/2024

I would echo what other comments suggest, position more cameras, as many as is affordable. I know zero about farm life (beyond videos on this channel), but I would think as with any random violence the best defense would require knowledge of the identity (aka species) of the perpetrator in order to guard the flock. Whatever it was it had to be fast, relatively small but still strong along with being quite agile to not ignite the wrath of Toby and Abby.  BTW shock can impact the immune system so pamper that rooster until his behavior returns to the typical rooster level of confidence.

Posted to antphrodite (RE: Possibility of the release of the Menendez Brothers) Uploaded 10/07/2024

I was going to comment about Kim K getting involved in the movement to release the brothers, when ant spoke on that in the very end of this video. I am guessing that hold would be coming from the judge and prosecutors involved in the brothers' conviction...probably from the second trial. This person is likely in a more powerful (and/or influential) position now and does not wish their "legacy" to be diminished with the release of either or both of the brothers. Unfortunately hubris, not justice, rules the day in this situation.

Posted to Chris Cillizza (RE: Does Trump have dementia) Uploaded to You Tube 10/07/2024

I agree the gloss, facade, and negativity has increased while Trump's filter has, yes he had a slight one, has diminished. Candidate Trump 2.0 (2024) is just twice whatever Trump Prime (2015) was like. I wish Elon Musk would offer Trump and family a free SpaceX trip to Mars. If nothing else it would get them off the planet until the election is over, too late to annoy every election precinct in the U.S. and most importantly maybe certain members of the Supreme Court could encouraged to retire.

Posted to Heretic-Andrew Gold (RE: Interview with Keira Bell) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/07/2024

I probably have not seen all of the interviews on people transitioning more due to the will of clinics than well-thought out personal choice, but seems like all these clinics and medical personnel are from the UK. What is going on at the NHS? I have heard that often there is difficulty in booking any specialists, getting vital surgeries and new treatments yet there seems to be no such issue if you want to permanently reno your body. Is this greed, incompetence, both?

Posted to Breakfast All Day (RE: Dave White Reviews Terrifier 3) Uploaded to You Tube 10/08/2024

I listen to Dave and Alonso's podcast, Linoleum Knife (very funny, very informative and highly recommended) so I was well aware of the cinema polymath that is Dave White. I do appreciate that Christy and Alonso were game enough to sit through this movie.  I respect Mr. White as a person, as a movie reviewer and a podcaster, but I am NOT seeing the 1st, 2nd or Terrifier 3 at any theater, any streaming service or any drive-in. Forget blood, clowns severely creep me out.

Posted to Emily D. Baker (RE: More charges for Diddy?) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/09/2024

What I find increasingly scary is the amount of enablers (music industry, employees, family, friends, celebrities) it took to keep Sean Combs seemingly invulnerable (until the Cassie video) from prosecution. Criminal indictment, prosecution and "final destination" of those enablers, not to mention the civil suits, could take multiple decades. The basis for for the U.S. judicial system,  presumption of innocence  is a philosophy that I find harder and harder to maintain in recent years. I appreciate those like EDB who continue to remind all of us that the presumption of innocence is the right of ANY defendant.

Posted to Uncivil Law (RE: DA (colorado) Linda Stanley disbarred) Uploaded 10/09/2024

QUESTION: I realize that Kari Morrissey was appointed, but are elected prosecutors like Michael Morrissey (DA Norfolk County) and Linda Stanley (former DA Colorado) more prone to losing their way by being more protective of their jobs than of the rights of individuals?  ANSWERS: (1) Disbarment, level achieved. (2) Any attack on judges should be predicated on their judicial behavior during trials regarding rulings and verdicts. (3) You know what, "let them talk" (apologies for slight alteration of that line to the writer(s) of the Dr. Serizawa comment in 2014 film, Godzilla). If you cannot stay off social media, as a grown a** adult, well it's on you.

Posted to Relatable Reese (RE: Relationship breakup) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/08/2024

Personal relationships of people I follow on You Tube are none of my business. In general, I would advise anyone to protect themselves first, especially where there is a child in the home. From the previous video, I had thought that there was violence in the home. I apologize for jumping to conclusions. Concentrate on living one's own life and protecting one's child until adulthood should be the priorities now. The cult of Scientology essentially tries to destroy individuality and parenthood. As a never in I cannot imagine the lifelong psychological damage that is done. Stay well, be happy and watch your child grow up the way you were not allowed.💗

Posted to Relatable Reese (RE: 3 guns given to "police"?) Uploaded to You Tube 0n 10/09/2024

Replay crew here That was a wild ride! However protect yourself, get a lawyer familiar with gun laws to register the 2 guns from the late husband. Keep all paperwork in a lock box in a safe location with copies at a secure 2nd location. Get paperwork proving that LE (officers' names, badge numbers, date and gun serial#) confiscated that 3rd (gifted) gun, in case the ex, "forgets" he claimed it. File a stalker report with any info (handle,  copies of any texts or email) regarding the individual who knew the police were there. Keep stalker report copy in a secure location. Having an indomitable spirit is important, but there be dragons out there so be alert, inquisitive and prepared.💗

Posted To Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Planning slowed due to injury) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/10/2024

You Tube analytics frown on video upload inactivity, but I feel most current subscribers would not unsubscribe, so (DAD pun alert) be supportive of your foot. Maybe just do more live streams from the house with the foot up?  I know it's a "Hail Mary", but have you seen an orthopedic specialist at a facility that treats athletes? If it exists (it would be pricey) perhaps there is an orthotic that can be inserted into an ordinary boot to immobilize the broken toe. Just a thought, but ask a medical professional (aka Mrs. G) if it would be safe to stabilize the broken toe by linking (via velcro bandage) to the uninjured toes while you are walking around the farm. It would be like grafting apple trees, only no knife plus you still end up with 5 movable toes...hopefully.😉

They cannot stop unless acted upon by an outside force (thank you Newton's Laws of Motion for my odd analogy) which would probably be a judicial and/or LE intervention.

Posted to Kevin Smith (RE: Joker 2 folie a deux) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/10/2024

I know lightning can strike regarding a movie with a huge budget making an even more huge profit but such occurrences are rare. While Todd Phillips was allowed to pursue his vision without studio interference, he should have kept the budget as low as possible. Blumhouse and A24 have proven that reasonably budgeted movies can be profitable, enjoyable and occasionally worthy of a nomination for an award.  Not my idea, but someone on YT mentioned that only one audience test screening might have enabled those in charge of this film to (quoting my car's AI) recalculate.

Posted to Microdots (RE: Interview with LVcopsTV) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/08/2024

I cannot conceive of the courage needed to run towards shooting.  When the 2017 Vegas shooting was mentioned, I did not remember the enormous devastation. I only vaguely recalled "a 2017 shooting at a concert in Las Vegas". While that is my fault, there is also the violence that seems to erupt on a regular basis in our society has done something horrific to me; making me forget. I am so sad for the victims and so ashamed of myself.

Listening to Mark Bederow's logic, reasoning and statements of fact, is beyond refreshing. I know that it is a low bar (pun intended, maybe) of humor,  but early in this discussion Attorney Bederow indicated that if a prosecutor (just plucking a name out of my head, Lally) is called by the defense as a witness, there is a problem. I have to admit that I laughed at that remark. I am hoping all registered voters in Massachusetts will remember Molly Bish, Sandra Birchmore, Karen Read and Enrique Delgado-Garcia and vote appropriately. I know that I will....

Whether Denver Colorado (Victor Moses' life altering injuries) or Southwestern Indiana (Asson Hacker un-alived during physical training exercise) or MST (Enrique Delgado-Garcia being un-alived during "training"), there is obviously a problem with police academy training methods along with a lack of properly educated instructors familiar with the medical profiles of their cadets.  WHY, are police being trained as Seal Team 6 combatants,  when their jobs will be mostly dealing with fatal accidents, substance abuse, theft, SA, mental illness and domestic calls. Criminals are argumentative along with being unhappy at being arrested, but they are not enemy soldiers. 

Posted to ModernGurlz (RE: Method Dressing) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/11/2024

I like method dressing. It seems perfectly matched to the job of promoting a movie. Of course when you take a leap, sometimes you fall. Blake Lively's method dressing in the "It Ends With Us" tour, was a unicorn due to the on set and on tour turbulence. A course correction probably was not easy to attempt as I am guessing months go into the wardrobe planning for a tour. However, I feel that somewhere in Blake Lively's personal wardrobe were strong, structured, impeccably tailored garments that could be accessorized with hint of a floral for hair, jewelry or other accessories? That phrase attributed to Blake Lively, "grab your friends, wear your florals" made me imagine a wacky rom-com not a movie about DV. Publicists and stylists should take note of what went wrong and do better next time.

Here from Rachel Maksy's channel. I have no skillset for crafts or sewing, but I love watching talented people like Midge and Rachel make practical magic become reality. The reveal was great. Definitely put "the girls" and the signage into the honorary Beetlejuice suite.  Could 2 dolls be made over into Dante's employees?  I am thinking not a Barbie type, maybe a plushy-type?  Attach one doll to each shoulder with velcro or snaps? Ideally the tops of the 2 dolls' heads are in line with the top of the cosplayer's head. As for being smaller, tell people that the witchdoctor shrunk them. Make the eyes glow (fluorescent paint or batteries) to add to the mood of the night.

I appreciate LVCopsTV pointing out what not to do when there is a sudden tragedy. Hubris has led us to where we are now. A tight, closed group of self-entitled citizens of Canton refused to admit their part in what was most likely, a tragic accident. They lied and lied until their lies became their truth. The psychology behind this mess could fill an entire chapter in the DSM-5.  Officer John O'Keefe has become a background player in his own story. There is no honor for his memory. There is no justice regarding this tragedy. And ultimately, no closure for his family in any of this.

It seems that anyone who had contact with Sean Combs followed one of two roads: (1) the victims: probably were drugged, threatened and trapped before being SA'd     OR     (2) the enablers: they worked for Combs or with Combs in the music business, they watched it all and did NOTHING.

Posted to LTL Media (RE: Review of Kohberger thus far) Uploaded to You Tube on 10/15/2024

I had thought that move to Boise (a large community) would be a good idea. This trial might have proven to be beyond the abilities of Latah County LE to maintain security for all trial participants. I had not thought about the impact on the victims' families. It would be a very compassionate and kind thing to do, for the State of Idaho, to pay for daily/roundtrip transport of immediate family members of the victims to the new location.

Some accuse her of lying, some are accusing her of being "altered" due to illness or deliberate action, but I think ant has drawn the truth. Jaguar Wright is most likely an easily impressional individual who heard the early drama and was shut out of any additional info so now she is telling "her truth" not THE truth. She is probably more to be pitied then condemned...note I said probably not definitely.

I have learned so much since I began following Gold Shaw Farm, over the past few years. I have gained a respect for the land and the treatment of all animals on the farm whether they live out their lives eating and being on You Tube or (and I appreciate this phrase,) "go to freezer camp". Yet I continue to obsess about the disappearance of Sir Porkington. Two hundred and fifty pounds of pig doesn't evaporate.  No dogs barking, no unexplained machinery sounds, no strangers in area, no reports of theft in surrounding areas and no unexplained objects (excluding drones of course) flying around. Well once this saga gets written (I would advise an October 31 release date) and published I will be buying it asap.

FAR IN THE FUTURE VIDEO IDEA:  Detailing conversations with friends and family or even strangers (with pseudonyms for privacy) at FOUR weddings must have ranged from hilarious to tricky to just plain weird in trying to keep "a low profile" while traveling on this new path.

Christopher Reeve was also part of my childhood as a man who became Superman via a movie. He was always bigger than life to me. Whether he was flying via movie magic or in a wheelchair. I miss him.

It is embarrassing, scary and unnecessary for a community to be in terror of a group of teens. It almost sounds like a bad 1950's movie. However this is not theatrics, this is the reality for the taxpayers of Danvers, Massachusetts. Danvers is in Essex County, not Norfolk (remember Sandra Birchmore, Karen Read) or Worcester  (remember Enrique Delgado-Garcia, Molly Bish) Counties. It is depressing to hear yet a 3rd county in Massachusetts without ethical and/or effective LE and DA's. I would say to the town board of Danvers, if ethics is not your strong suit, then recognize the financial reality of taxpayers moving out of your community along with civil suits being filed with the high probability of large financial payouts.

However Mrs. McCabe's search: "how (aka hos) long to die in cold" is to me a kind of a tell. That she said Karen Read used those exact words is problematic as Jen McCabe and truth are not always on speaking terms.

I have no problems with Victoria Secret having angel-ish models moving on a walkway monthly, annually or at any time. Victoria Secret's business model (pun intended) should concentrate on making their brick and mortar stores more accessible, hire more diversely, promote from within and publicize donations to those in need due to amputation. Many insurance companies will only allow reimbursement for one set of artificial limbs every 2 years.  However should an amputee wish to to start running, marathon walking or anything athletic or even wish prosthetics that accommodate wearing high heels, then you pay yourself or start a GoFundMe.  It is not rocket science Victoria Secret, adapt or become an unfortunate entry in the history of defunct companies.

I loved the autumnal witch and the cursed pumpkin (that sounds like a VERY weird children's book) costumes. From my closet of everyday items of mostly black, my costume would have to be choosing from sequined tops, glitter skirts, lacy gauntlets, odd shawls, boots and of course black items. A costume from my closet would be a goth or disco witch.  BTW I did catch that clip on Micarah Tewers channel. Drop her a DM, then you can be online friends.😜

IDEAS (some old some new): (1)Convert an extreme and/or expensive trend seen at the recent fashion show to a more affordable price along with a more "toned-down" silhouette, such as oversized billowy sleeves done as loose sleeves. (2) What to have for hosting your own new year's eve party such as games, decor, food that is tasty yet easy to make, maybe suggesting a dress code (for example, every one wears any fashion in either white or black or both)? (3) Fashion ideas for different "levels" of new year's eve events such as a gala, a smallish group, or a 2-person dinner out? (4) Amazon likes to push (encourage?😉) purchases on my opening page. If UK Amazon is the same, what are they trying to sell to Roxx? Are any of these items actually what YOU need? (5) Not sure in what video format it should be, but I am a pushover for jewelry, especially earrings. Maybe go on ETSY and find styles you have never seen on other shopping services, but try to keep it affordable?

I like option #2 with the huge walk in shower. Maybe consult with the builder on cost of adding a tub to the walk in shower should you wish to resell. Perhaps the future use of this home even without selling might involve adding one of those individual (sit down) safety shower units?  Of course the expensive #3 does sound like it would add to the future resale value of the house, but obviously would cut into current savings. I am wondering how the bathroom reno will affect Jason. Would an illustrated journal of the bathroom before reno'd, along with one illustration per page of what will be done to each section of the bathroom along with a projected last chapter showing this bathroom's future look, be of any assistance? The unknown, the new and especially strangers traveling through one's home can be stressful to any of us irregardless as to how well how brain functions.

I feel it is likely that Karen Read is guilty of a DWI, anything else is unprovable at this point. Judging by evidence at Karen Read's trial, DWI seemed to be a very popular activity that night in Canton. Most of the expert witnesses called by the prosecution seemed unable to fulfill their one mission...to be an expert. Civilian witnesses seemed to have selective amnesia.The truth may be out there, but it is buried under an enormous amount of muck and lies. Officer John O'Keefe deserved far better treatment by his peers and co-workers and Karen Read should be acquitted due to reasonable doubt.

I am soooooo old, that I can remember grey. Remember grey? It is the color between white and black. A product can be in the grey area, potentially harmful yet proven useful (I am thinking of a certain plant). So many discussions whether political debates, social media or even around the dinner table gives us only two sides to choose from, either person/opinion A or B. Either person/side can potentially contain viewpoints amenable to many. AI can be extremely helpful, but if not properly developed and monitored by humans we risk damage to the most vulnerable among us. Ironically the decision is binary; either we regulate AI ourselves or someday a few bureaucrats with as much knowledge of computers as an amoeba has will do it for us. Which is preferable.

These "mystery boxes" can contain housewares, decor, cosmetics, clothing or accessories that are dead stock, returns, over stock or whatever. Maybe try online thrift stores as they REALLY want to yeet unwanted stock that is taking up space in their warehouses.  Perhaps pose that question as an IG poll where the subscribers can type in their own site suggestions?

Posted to Caitlin Dougherty (RE:Post-Death Trial and "execution" of Oliver Cromwell) 10/14/2024

Caitlin Dougherty's commentary on history is always entertaining and provokes me to research...a bit. I did a shallow dive into local politics of Egypt in the 1650's. Even way back in the pre-internet 1650's, didn't Egypt have a well-known rep in the practice of mummification even if death involved an infection? I guess the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) was ruling Egypt in that period, but I think they had a trade relationship with England. I am probably wrong, as I said it was an extremely shallow dive. Perhaps Occam's razor is applicable, as most likely there wasn't time to ship an expert in mummification from Egypt to England. Or was there some hatred leftover from the Crusades? Although I do not think Egypt was "visited" by those (desperately reaching for a pun here) literally benighted individuals. Finally there is the probable hubris of the English royal (ahem, protectorate) physicians?  BTW when ancestral English figures of power canceled an historical figure, they did NOT mess around.

Posted to Collier Landry (RE: Menendez Bros. Plea for Release) Uploaded on 10/27/2024

There is no easy yes or no answer for these 2 men. I know that the first trial ended in a mistrial. For some reason the abuse by the parents (primarily by the Dad with the lack of concern or care by the Mom) was not allowed into the 2nd trial. Was the reason the lack of verification by anyone outside of the sons? Should they be let out, I honestly do not know. The execution style of the un-aliving of the parents was brutal. However so is SA of children. Were I on the parole board, I would like to see current (and past) psych and behavioral reports on both men. For any release I would wish to view their living and work arrangements along with the structure of the probation. The actions of the brothers indicated pre-planning and post-event fabrication. This tragedy occurred in August 1989. Think at how different our society is in 2024 from 1996 (year incarceration began). Maybe some day (not Thanksgiving 2024) they can live in a managed group home. These two need to decompress just like a deep sea diver must before returning to the surface. Their inclusion into society might require years of supervision to ensure their safety and the public's safety.

Not that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis read these comments, but they might wish to wait if France is one of those places in Europe to which they may relocate. There is a movement in France to bolster the laws concerning SA. What might be the tipping point is an ongoing trial accusing Dominique Pelicot of instigating horrific acts of violence upon his (now ex) wife. Due to videos taken by the accused, there is little doubt as to his guilt. While I do applaud Ashton and Mila wishing to move for the safety of their children "to keep them more grounded" is the quote attributed to them, but France might not be enthusiastic and accepting of Ashton Kutcher and his family due to all the negativity out there concerning this couple.

In selling lost luggage it would be both nice and ethical if the airlines banked that money for the, "Let's Not Lose Our Customer's Luggage Especially After Over-charging Our Customer for Check-In Bags" Fund.😉 As for a lost luggage backstory, I would say that this is a divorced (non-custodial parent) Dad taking his young (maybe 11 - 14 years old?) child on an island vacation with lots of different activities planed...or like Roxx said this was simply a combo of multiple lost items!

This drama is getting SO complicated. I actually forgot about the writer's strike element.  It would seem that the WGA would be more concerned about not selling new scripts or not fully writing a scene for a film already in development. Like so many celebrity dramas, this one started relatively small and fixable. Before the promotional tour began for "It Ends WIth Us" there should have been meetings between all interested parties of whom I am assuming to be 100% adults concerning the goals of the tour. However, before anyone starts feeling sorry for, or angry at, anyone involved in this film, just check out some of the financials: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/it-ends-with-us-box-office-milestone-1235976625/ (apologies if this is behind a paywall).

Fascinating to think that the "love that they could not name" in the 1800's might have been somewhat responsible for the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

I am surprised that the subpoena did not have instructions to LE indicating that the subpoena had to be physically handed to and read by the owner/driver before the car could be removed. There are ring doorbells, expensive exterior home cameras, along with pricey Teslas. These items are all privately owned property. QUESTION: Unless the owner is proven complicit in the crime that the cameras caught, how can it be legal to tow the car without proper/in-person notification?  Also, why isn't the Tesla's sentry data uploaded to a cloud?

I have often heard that therapists say the main difficulty in counseling people deep into cults is getting these people to acknowledge that, " yes, the cult is wrong" because the next step is that obviously by association this makes the "participant" wrong in their beliefs. Admitting you were wrong requires a certain amount of logical thinking, ethics and intelligence. I wonder if those in Canton and Stoughton LE, MSP along with the office of the DA of Norfolk County are even capable of rational thinking at this point?

However how can any one look at the incomprehensibly amateur (I could have done better job by viewing CSI and Law & Order) investigation done by local LE with the MST and say "good job"? Ironically, the death of Officer John O'Keefe was probably a tragic accident that took place inside or near a certain home. Trying to distance themselves from this incident led "individuals of interest" to put all of us in the place that we find ourselves now.  Hopefully the indictment of FORMER officer Farwell (regarding Sandra Birchmore), will lead to more indictments or at the very least early retirements. Norfolk County taxpayers deserve to get the "to protect and to serve" as promised.

The danger about "woke behavior" run amok seems to be unfortunately be seen at universities. A university should be a place to encourage debate and the exchange of ideas. As for doctors, I would go with Occam's razor depositing the blame for these unnecessary surgeries to greed and to incompetence. I do not think that NHS-UK coverage for the public is sufficient patient follow up. Any irreversible surgical procedures should be done within a hospital setting after a thorough history, labs, physical examination and psych evaluation have been administered. After 13 years of age, puberty blockers have a time frame, I believe it to be (I am not a medical professional) months to 1 or 2 years to avoid future fertility and other medical problems. The stories of people trying to de-transition is so sad as their pain is directly attributable to doctors forgetting their oath, "...first, do no harm...".

In doing a quick search, I cannot find a Mississippi law requiring guns in private homes to be locked and stored unloaded. However, if there was a psychosis due to medication or mental health condition, this individual would probably have found another type of weapon. I wonder about the friend who saw the deceased, remained at the home seemingly fine with the situation until both girls ran away?  Either way Carly Gregg needs a full psych evaluation, lab tests, a detailed medical history and probably a forensic psychiatrist to make all the data comprehensible to the judge and jury. She definitely presents a danger to society, but I think a 24/7 controlled environment with more doctors than security guards might be the best place for her. After several years of therapy and maturation of her frontal lobe (specifically the pre-frontal cortex), a re-evaluation could be made at age 25.

I wonder if the success of the (romantic drama) film, "It Ends With Us" will result in the studio elders rushing a similar themed grouping to a wide release? They might wish to consider 2 factors first:  (1)This movie was based on a best-selling novel  (01/2022 NY Times best seller list) AND even more importantly (2) the dueling PR tours for this movie has resulted in considerable free advertising which most likely brought in people who were intrigued by the drama off-screen.

However what makes the Emily Armstrong apology even worse than the Ashton-Mila apology is the tragedy of Linkin Park band member Chester Bennington. Whatever the level of her talent, Emily Armstrong should have to make a choice, Linkin Park or a certain cult blamed for covering up and allowing SA and destruction of families.

Dr. Gunn's (she has a PhD) body language leans toward someone who is not used to being criticized even in a positive/learning experience type of way. Odd, considering her (self-reported?) competitive background. Animosity regarding her inclusion on Australia's team should be directed at the judges whose ratings allowed her to complete at the 2024 Olympics, plus the confusing convoluted Olympic scoring system for this sport. Directing negative comments or harassment at Rachael Gunn, her family and friends gains nothing for this sport.

What about the "sacred purity" of being a small landowner, is what I would ask Vermont Fish and Game. Isn't requesting aged or handicapped landowners to physically post their land against federal laws regarding discrimination?  Fish and Game's attitude is likely a combination of an older generation fixated on the image of the self-sufficient hunter of past centuries matched with the entrance of a more modern entity... the lobbyist. Admittedly small farmers and other landowners do not have the money, especially in view of the flood tragedy, but perhaps the lobbyists' methods can be (affordably) adapted to get attention in Montpelier.

With two such valuable assistants ("cat who is not my cat" and le Marquis) the sorting time must have flown by.😉 The colors and scale designs were so vibrant. The final gown has to be amazing just with that alone. While I cannot go to the Florida convention, I know that I would love to see a panel on "craft hacks". These would be ways to handle a fast finishing of one's cosplay when time is just about up. What to do (supplies, repair techniques) for "fashion emergencies". I am not a fancy cosplayer so my emergency kit consists of elastics bands, lots of safety pins, tape and one needle with neutral color thread.

These cadets would be better at LE if their program prioritized areas such as: (1) investigative and interrogation skills,  (2) martial arts that emphasizes self-defense such as karate, (3) behavioral (body language) analysis, (4) shooting to disable not to kill (using shoulders, knees as targets) and (5) proper handling of a crime scene. Judging by errors made by CM police departments in recent years this academy is not producing LE officers who can fulfill their mission statement, to protect and to serve. As for "Fight Night" the fate of Enrique Delgado-Garcia indicates that the negatives of this activity far outweigh any positives that the current people in power may imagine.

Dr. Grande is correct, Carly Gregg's sentence does protect society. Although I would add, protection only from THIS individual. Charging Carly as an adult was done according to Mississippi law. However, I have lingering doubts about her capacity to control her impulses and comprehend consequences (significant mental health problems in her maternal and paternal lines). A better solution would have put her into a secure mental health institution with a re-evaluation done after she turned 25. Tragically she is not the first teenager with access to a gun to act on impulse. Until we can identify and treat adolescents properly she will not be the last.

The stained white tee shirt @7:30 reminds me of mineral stains, usually caused by laundering in "hard" water. Lots of methods online, but the one that worked for me: "Mix baking soda with water to make a paste, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for up to 15 minutes. Then, lightly scrub with an old brush." Beware of removing the stain and the material! When I declutter, I also consider whether the item could be retired to my (small) cosplay closet. Keep the Barbie jacket, probably not the Minnie denim dress/coat and get that beautiful pink plushy jacket somewhere to be restored, it is stunning.

Get (real) leather boots that fit securely. Wear them around the house for a few days to acclimate them to your feet. I used to constantly roll my ankles as I have impaired depth perception. I wear short boots in the warm months and tall boots in the cold months. While I still step into holes, crevices and cracks,  I usually emerge uninjured. Once I did damage my toe, not broken but still quite painful. I bought toe wraps on Amazon that are made of velcro to immobilize my toe for several weeks. I took "rest" (aka no toe wrap) periods while I was seated at my computer. Full Disclosure: this is anecdotal evidence only, as I was not seen by a physician.  I do like the staff idea mentioned in comments.  Make one or get a crafted one at a Renfaire (usually pricey, but very Middle Earth-ish).

(2) Could (proven) diminished capacity of this Tik Tok person assist in ending this loop?  (3) When the Professor's case is finally successful with an injunction granted, would this turn any future comments about this Professor into a criminal offense? (4) If so would breaking an injunction be enough for immediate incarceration and hopefully therapy? BTW SO appreciative that we are not using names, as that probably would be feeding this obsession.

I am not a fan of Piers Morgan, but I did appreciate that Mr. Morgan's interview style was blunt and direct. At this point the ex-girlfriend and Armie Hammer have both come to a reality that each can live with. Probably neither remembers it 100%. With no criminal conviction or active case against Armie Hammer along with the information that ex-wife considers him a friend and co-parent, he can probably re-enter the entertainment industry. He would be smart to start very slowly in very small roles or even consider behind the camera work such as writing or producing. If his fame and success return, maybe this time, he can get it right.

Hence my multiple trips to cons featuring anime, comics and Renaissance (no LARPing though) panels and parties. Not sure what is upcoming in the Minnesota area, but going to conventions/events where dress up is acceptable (not mandatory) would be a fun way to make new memories, hang with old friends, make new friends and just for a few hours be someone else as in "the you on vacation" but not altering the essential you.

As for her license to practice law, I would suspend it until she completed a minimum of 4 months of general therapy with additional sessions covering anger management along with treatment for her reported past trauma issues. Her completion should be documented by her therapists (without breaking HIPAA) before regaining her license to practice law.

Her comments were hurtful, careless, clueless and without merit. Unfortunately the bottom feeders and trolls on the internet love a chance to spread hate and they have even less self-awareness than Mykayla Skinner. If accurate that she has sent personal apologies to each team member, now she should also follow that up with their coaches and the Olympic Committee.

Perhaps Paul is looking for additional investors for Prime in view of Olympics' trademark suit (among other lawsuits re: Prime), perhaps Paul's liability insurance may require "a show of innocence" in the CryptoZoo class action suit or the deities help us all...Logan Paul is going to release something new which no doubt will be exposed negatively within one year in a You Tube video.

Dr. Emma Hilton is the first scientist who (at least for me) explains this situation clearly, without prejudice and with intelligence.

It is not fair, it is science. As Dr. Hilton has said there are tests. There is no reason beyond IOC stubbornness that this was not been handled privately rather than currently being debated on Twitter and reddit by those without requisite knowledge.

It reminds all of us dog lovers, that this puppy is working so no pets on the head. This question has probably been addressed, but what if on a plane (or any public transit that you cannot easily exit) someone (strongly or repeatedly) complains that they are allergic to dogs. What is the protocol for the dog and their person?

Each TYT panel member is right and wrong primarily because they are not arguing 100% science. They are instead allowing the debate to include politics, emotions and uneducated opinions. No accurate judgement can be made without knowing the (justifiably private) medical information regarding Imane Khelif. In general, when it comes to contact sports such as boxing the primary issue becomes a question of safety, not identity. When it comes to sports such as marathon running, then the primary issue becomes the unfair advantage of denser bones, increased musculature and larger lung capacity rather than identity. The IOC and athletic associations need to agree on a standardized plan of comprehensive, scientifically valid testing. Or we could just leave it to the wild west debaters on Twitter, reddit and media.😉

Haven't read the book. Haven't seen the movie. So my opinion is speculation based solely on this video. I agree with SpillSesh in that this is most likely 2 differing viewpoints regarding the presentation of generational trauma (as in 100%serious vs. 50%serious + 50%comedic). In that case the separate publicity tours probably have been agreed to by all involved parties in order not to alienate any of the potential audience. It is curious that the book's author went on the Blake tour not the Justin tour.

His goal was to become a famous travel/entertainment service with trips to the ocean depths for TOURISTS. The final irony is with all the complaints that Stockton Rush had about regulation stunting innovation, his hubris and carelessness will doom this industry to become mired in regulation probably written by bureaucrats who can't even swim never mind understand the science of deep sea submersibles.

At this point we can only speculate regarding what happened on set. I have not read the book or seen the movie. I do know it is about generational harm in marriages.That is a hard topic to sell. Probably why most of the cast is going a different route in PR tours. I have read interviews concerning and with actors in roles where they actively commit some sort of physical or emotional assault on those who are weaker. Certain actors find that draining along with having difficulty exiting the character on set breaks or even at home. I think that Justin should have not have chosen to act AND to direct this movie. Sounds like he may have had trouble transitioning from the character to the director and back again.

Guess what film Lionsgate may be making...the live action version of Naruto.  If they get that film wrong, Twitter, reddit and most of social media will be apoplectic. Anime fans hold grudges.

Quite often when children are mistreated it makes them act out, bet the judge was not aware of that or much else regarding psychology or obviously the Constitution. "Scared Straight" was an old tactic from the last century, it was not effective. Even so, those "field trips" were signed off on by parents with the children being mostly older teens. I question that this judge was only temporarily removed from criminal cases.  He has no regrets or 2nd thoughts concerning his actions that day in criminal court. This individual should be barred from being a jurist in perpetuity as his future judgment, ethics and state of mind are suspect.

She is not making fun of this activity. However the self-delusion comes in with her total shock and surprise that there were so many who felt that her performance was a horrible prank or participation through illegal means.

I agree with other comments. Rather than a kill shot, a shot to the knee or ankle would have cause a fall or a least a stumble enabling tasers to be used by the other 2 officers. If police are going to be used for mental health crisis calls, then they need a new plan. Someone in a high manic state, as Dr. Grande has stated, is not going to obey or even comprehend instructions. As was sadly seen in this case, these individuals in crisis are more likely to get combative and threatening. With medical care and medication becoming more and more expensive, I would say that new police plan is needed now.

Studio PR tours can be mind numbing for all involved, but even fatigue does not excuse what appears to be adolescent behavior from these 2 adult celebrities (in 2015 Lively was 28 newly famous with Posey more the "veteran" at 47).  Interestingly this 2015 interview was "re-discovered" shortly after Justin Baldoni hired a crisis PR manager. I am going with Occam's razor believing that the set of "It Ends With Us" was more of an ego/power struggle between the director/lead actor/executive producer (Justin Baldoni) and lead actress/producer (Blake Lively). "It Ends With Us" was released 08/09/2024 and is already in profit mode. It does not seem as though any celebrities were irreparably harmed in the making of this 2024 film.😉

I am cynical. In "It Ends With Us", I see is a film with elements of romance and the promise of survival. I also see a film making way more money than most other films in its category (broken relationships/female-centric drama).  Many celebrities carry a kernel (sometimes a Birkin bag's worth) of narcissism within themselves. The studio puts these actors on marathon in-person interview tours. This does not excuse bad behavior, but it certainly allows it to flourish in a usually pampered but now tired, petulant perhaps altered actor. As I type this, whether for good, evil or a lack of anything new to post, internet sleuths are likely researching past interviews of everyone on this film.

However, I felt neither was connecting with the other. Weinberg was essentially "turning in his homework early" speaking to a future appellate court. Judge Cannone was probably already deep into the research process (or most likely her clerks) for the yet to be issued, denial.

Is finding impartial jurors within Norfolk County even still possible?

We do not have to agree 100% with the presented opinion or even 50%, but we should at least listen to a opinion that is freely shared without anger and without threats.

Posted to The Behavioral Arts (RE: Rachel Gunn new video and interview with Ivan Velez) 08/25/2024

The interview with Ivan Velez, made it clear that the problem is not Rachel Gunn.  I am still not sure Rachel Gunn actually knows what went wrong at the Olympics. She is an unreliable narrator when it comes to judging her own skill set, but she does not seem to have any intent to denigrate or disrespect. There are 4 years until the next summer Olympics, I hope the suggestions and improvements that Mr. Velez and other experts have proposed are incorporated to avoid future "mistakes". One thing Rachel Gunn is on point about is that judgements can get posted online within minutes without even spending seconds on fact-checking or researching.

Posted to Nicole Rudolph (RE: High Heels were invented for men) Uploaded on 08/24/2024

After years of trying to wear high heels, I became tired of rolled ankles and bruised feet. I have moved on to short boots with heels no higher than 2 3/4 inches. My feet are a bit "Goldilocks"-ish as I cannot walk comfortably in flats or stilettos, but only in footwear with heels of medium height and medium width (aka "just right"). While my footwear is not overly feminine (beyond fitting my tiny size 5 1/2 -  6 size feet), I would like to think that it is the entity wearing the shoes that sets that tone, not the shoes themselves. Full disclosure, I do envy those who can wear high heeled footwear, remain upright and actually walk in them.

Posted to HauteLeMode (RE: Blake Lively's promotion wardrobe for "It Ends With Us") 08/25/2024

The confusion regarding method dressing for this film directly relates to the confusing way this film has been promoted on the press tour. Watching interviews with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, had I not heard about the on-set problems, I would have assumed that these 2 individuals were promoting 2 separate movies.  Luke is correct, the (fashion) cure is, in one word...editing. Blake Lively is a stunning, tall, attractive, individual yet her clothes were "wearing her" almost comedically. Even if the film  character's name is Lily Bloom, many of Blake's looks had me asking, "why?"

Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Icelandic Farms and Icelandic Sheep) Uploaded 08/26/2024

It is a beautiful country. I noticed many of the roads had no side barriers, but I did not see any lighting. Do people not drive a night in Iceland or do they just always have their night vision eyewear with them? While I have no problem with anyone eating meat, I do not. I know fishing can be problematic due to overfishing and pollutants, but is that an affordable option at the local restaurants? Haha right before Morgan said, "I will not be getting sheep any time soon...", I wondered if he was scoping out the Icelandic sheep for future residency at Gold Shaw Farm!

Posted to Emily D. Baker (RE: Quick Bits week of 08/25/2024) Uploaded on 08/26/2024

Judge Cannone's denial of the Karen Read defense's team plea, was expected and unfortunately in line with Massachusetts law. FULL DISCLOSURE:  I went down a rabbit hole. I am probably wrong, but here it is. Beverly Cannone was nominated to be a judge on 04/16/2014. She was confirmed for that position on 05/07/2014.  In the CM, government workers, to become fully vested for a pension upon retirement, must have worked 10 consecutive years (check Mass.gov for more details). Karen Read's (first) trial began 04/16/2024. The number 10 provokes thoughts on my part. This could all be coincidence. As there is so much chicanery regarding this trial, it is not beyond imagination that a certain judge may have felt "obligated" to take a certain case due to certain requests.

Posted to Living With Dementia (RE: Leslie and Jason--memory)Uploaded to You Tube on 08/26/2024

That is terrifying, having a specialist attempt to prescribe medication without doing a thorough patient history along with a phone consult with the patient's other treating physicians. I hesitate to suggest this, because there are probably thousands of suggestions that pass through the comment section, but I had pain issues due to an arm injury. I do not do well on pain meds. I went to an acupuncturist and was very happy with the results. Perhaps my favorable result was simply a placebo effect, but whatever it was, my pain was drastically reduced as my arm healed.

It is not schadenfreude I promise, but I do enjoy seeing the messy reality of guinea pigs being presented by someone who truly understands these beings.  I acknowledge that it is in the guinea pig's nature to burrow, destroy hay, dump food and move anything not nailed down within their habitat to odd (at least to their humans) places.  As I say to my adorable wheeking "potatoes" on a daily basis, "you are lucky that you are so adorable."

I am subscribed to Heretics (and especially enjoyed the episode with Dr. Emma Hilton) and also the substack. However, I will keep this channel subscription on my feed. Perhaps this channel could be the home for other objects of interest, interviews, commentaries that do not match the "fit" of the Heretics channel?  While I am not in agreement with all opinions voiced on the Heretics channel, I do enjoy the departures from the echo chamber (no doubt maintained by 'bots running an algorithm) that is social media. Listening is a skill that we all need to constantly upgrade and renew.

Posted to Breakfast All Day (RE: Spoilers for film Strange Darling) Uploaded to You Tube 08/27/2024

SPOILER: Simply from a change in the hair style and the hair color of a character within the few seconds of video shown, I guessed the twist. Also probably just me, I frequently do a search starting with the words: "spoilers for" any films that are horror/thrillers. I am the person that you never want to sit next to during a movie with jump scares. I do not jump during those unpleasant crescendos in the audio, I levitate. Spoilers enable me to watch good thrillers or horror movies with the benefit  of an auditory vaccination.  BTW  Hello Bibbs! LOVE your podcast, "Critically Acclaimed Network".

Posted to the Lawyer You Know (RE: Wrongful Death Suit filed by O'Keefe Family) 08/26/2024

I suppose that this suit explains what was meant when Paul O'Keefe said to Karen Read as he left court on day mistrial was declared, "And I just said, 'You know, you are not done yet. '"  I understand the timing due to 3 year time limit in CM, but the waste of so much time and expense to further the cause of retribution is sad. While Officer John O'Keefe died on January 29, 2022 in retrospect so did the normality of day to day life of all involved parties whether through this tragic accident or deliberate corruption.

Posted to penguin0z (RE: The New Tiger King) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/27/2024

Amazing after what happened to Charla Nash (the unfortunate neighbor not Travis' "owner"), that any non-professional would even consider acquiring a chimpanzee. We really need to redefine "exotic pets", because included in that definition are guinea pigs along with any animal that is not a cat, dog or farm animal. I 100% promise that neither of my two guinea pigs will cause extreme bodily injury...or worse to any human.

Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Sir Porkington is Gone) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/29/2024

One of the comments mentioned, "My Friend Alfred", which sounds plausible. However, wouldn't Alfred have "confessed" by now?  Sir Porkington was there for AM feeding upon the return from Iceland but not the PM feeding that same day? That interval would make theft by humans a difficult operation. If one of the group is sick, do pigs have the instinct to force any sick one out, even considering the electrical fence?   Beyond setting up more cameras, as a non-farmer I have no other ideas.

Posted to penguin0z (RE: Tik Tok influencer "pranks") Uploaded to You Tube on 08/29/2024

In California it is called "5150". This is 72-hour psychiatric hold on an individual by a professional such as a psychiatrist. It would be a kindness to these "prank" pinheads were such an action taken. If nothing else to determine the state of their brains. I know that the frontal lobe does not fully mature in most people until 25, but these fame w***** will not cease independently unless done forcibly by entities like law enforcement, prosecutors, judges with the destination (hopefully not "Final") of very uncomfy cages (without Wi-Fi and toilet lids).

Posted to Jenna Miscavige (RE: Scientology Broke Up Marriage) Uploaded to You Tune 08/29/2024

That was very powerful. Sharing this abusive treatment by a cult that purports to be saving the world is the most powerful thing that could be done by one person. And we even are given the "receipts" (aka printed records)! It happened. It should never happen to anyone again. Again thank you to Jenna Miscavige for enlightening us "never-ins". We knew it was bad, but it was SO deliberately bad. BTW I respect Jenna for keeping the name Miscavige and doing right by that name unlike her uncle has done.

Another replay crew member here.

Absolutely makes me laugh every time.

Posted to Uncivil Law (RE: Civil Suit filed by O'Keefe Family) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/30/2024

What we have here (think the memorable vocal tones of the late great character actor Strother Martin in his performance from the 1967 Film, Cool Hand Luke) is the failure of logic, intellect and ethics. Instead we get, corruption + self-entitlement + magical thinking. This equation led to the blame of the "outsider" in this group, Karen Read. Is Karen Read Mother Theresa, no but neither is she a comic book super-villain. Eventual outcome of this civil suit...(1) as Karen Read cannot be questioned during discovery, it will be stayed (2) the 2nd trial, if it takes place or if it is dropped will eliminate most of the causes of action in this civil suit and (3) eventually suit will be settled probably to no one's satisfaction after arbitration and the placement of a non-disclosure clause. Karen Read will move on, I have doubts about many others.

I have seen some beautiful and creative things being revealed on this channel, but those fairy doors touch my elven (yes a test I took said I was a hobbit, but I disagreed with its parameters) soul. In a non-Con crunch period maybe make a  trompe-l'œil castle on a folding screen to cover up tech elements of the 21st century or to disguise in plain sight a current craft project ?

Posted to Legal Vices (RE: Officer Matthew Farwell indicted for Sandra Birchmore death) 08/30/2024

Replay crew here. I am not sure I will make it until the end of this video due to content so I will comment at this point. After someone quite dangerous like this former officer is put into custody without bail, we usually breathe a sigh of relief. That is not possible in this situation. For this individual to walk freely and continue his life after the tragedy of February 1, 2021 until quite recently, he had to have powerful people who would essentially be co-conspirators in his crime. May every single one of those co-conspirators be removed from power and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Posted to Legal Bytes (RE: Disney withdraws arbitration plea) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/28/2024

If that area had been called Summer Springs instead of Disney Springs, severing Disney as a defendant in this law suit might have been possible. Disney guards its IP quite vigorously. Making it contractually impossible, for example a previously family-oriented restaurant to rebrand by adding exotic dancers and smoking to their establishment probably would be considered breach of the rental contract. Following that logic, there must be clauses in all contracts for all businesses in Disney Springs to stay family friendly and accessible to all patrons. What amazes me (or maybe it should not) was that no one at Disney corporate said, "wait a minute, let's think this through". 

Posted to Legal Bytes (RE: Drowning Death at a CrossFit Race) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/29/2024

I agree, a lifeguard who does not properly guard or show concern about a life would seem to be not only a contradiction in terms, but a textbook example of gross negligence. The point about Texas heat vs Wisconsin more temperate climate is yet another factor that a plaintiff can cite in a wrongful death suit. QUESTION: Could this athlete's death result in a criminal charge being filed against the CEO of CrossFit...I am not certain as Texas is very corporation friendly. There is a correlation to the RUST tragedy. While the lifeguards were essentially useless, the blame for this death would be better laid at the feet of the owners of CrossFit. Punishing one or two lifeguards will not ensure the safety of future participants.

Posted to Sewstine (RE: Part 2 of the Bee Gown...the day bodice) Uploaded to You Tube on 08/30/2024

Chunky bees and improved Asian clouds were excellent calls. This is an exquisite gown which looks like it was plucked out of a museum exhibit. However this gown can go out, be seen dancing and enjoying a gala. My personal gown dreams are any that can move with the wearer. Bodycon dresses can be attractive, but they don't waltz very smoothly.

Posted to the Lawyer You Know (RE: Change of Venue Survey for Kohberger trial) 08/31/2024

QUESTION: I did not see this statement on the survey:  Believe Bryan Kohberger "might be" or "could be" or "possibly be",  guilty of murder. Wouldn't this option be of value for compiling stats? Or is my wording inherently faulty as what I have just typed would be more in question format than statement format?  MOVING TRIAL:  In general for any heavily media-covered trial, I would say there should be a very detailed voir dire involving questionnaires and with private interviews with each juror with only the defense, prosecution and judge present. However, the population of Latah County (current location of Kohberger trial) is much smaller than that of Ada County. That is an important factor for any jury pool. Also, this trial will have an influx of media and others along with the challenge of maintaining safety and security for trial participants. For that reason, not juror bias, this trial might be best served by a move to a larger area like Ada County.

Posted to Observe (RE: Interview with Burke Ramsey regarding death of sister, JonBenét) 08/31/2024

Looking at interviews of Burke Ramsey as an adult, he has characteristics of being "on the spectrum". On 12/25/1996, I believe for a period of time the parents did suspect Burke, thus destroying important evidence, adding false evidence (the letter) and perhaps even moving JonBenét. As John Bennett Ramsey is now 80 years old and Patsy Ramsey died in 2006, it is likely we will never know for certain what actually happened without a confession from the perpetrator.

Posted-The Behaviorial Arts(2016 "Cafe Society" interview w/Blake Lively & Parker Posey) 08/30/24

I do not see "mean girls". I see 2 women who are pampered, petulant, puerile, probably tired and possibly altered. Parker Posey especially seems off with an odd head tilt @1:49-51, hair play @18:39-42 and nail play @19:01-07. Here and there Parker Posey had a sprinkling of slurred words. I agree that Blake was annoyed by the statement regarding her personal condition. The editing of this interview showed none of these 3 in a good light. Why was the camera focused so long on interviewer not asking questions? Why make her look powerless? Full disclosures:  I have zero knowledge concerning the day-to-day personalities of Kjersti Flaa, Blake Lively or Parker Posey, so I have no clue as to whether this interview reflected behavior contrary to their baseline or not.

Posted to Surviving The Survivor (RE: Federal Indictment of Matthew Farwell) 0830/2024

There is obvious commonality to both the Birchmore and the Read cases. This crossover is not just regarding certain LE participants. Go higher. The DA of Norfolk County signed off on both cases, resulting in ignoring Sandra Birchmore's obvious cause of demise and hyper-focusing on Karen Read using the most incompetent police work seen outside of a satirical film. BTW, Todd McGhee is always has the best commentary, ethically and intellectually, of any panel on which he appears.
